New Executive Titles are quickly emerging

The volatility of the economic climate these last few years has resulted in many changes to the business and economic landscape.

Disruptions to the organizational structure includes changes in the C-Suite as businesses adapt to emerging technologies and the resulting leadership requirements.

Ninjas, Evangelists, Muses, Gurus?

They are out there – the Chief Evangelist Officers, Software Development Ninjas, Human Factors Gurus, Innovation Muses, but the trend is moving more toward the fundamental style titles which show deliberate inclusion in the C-Suite, with little or no ambiguity about corporate responsibility.

Scott Spreier, Sr. Consultant with the Hay Group, a leading global management consulting firm says: “Look beyond the titles. What is critical in creating such roles is first understanding the size and scope of the role. Is it a strategic role or a more tactical, operational role? Is it directly linked to business results, or is it more advisory? These factors all shape the accountabilities of the role and the skills and competencies necessary to execute those roles.”
